TLDR
In this paper, a method for handwritten character generation using Hidden Markov Models (HMM) is described. But the HMM can be adapted using a technique such as a maximum a posterior technique, a maximum likelihood linear regression technique or an Eigen-space technique.
Abstract
An exemplary method for handwritten character generation includes receiving one or more characters and, for the one or more received characters, generating handwritten characters using Hidden Markov Models trained for generating handwritten characters. In such a method the trained Hidden Markov Models can be adapted using a technique such as a maximum a posterior technique, a maximum likelihood linear regression technique or an Eigen-space technique.

Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant

TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

Handwriting recognition system and method

TL;DR: The authors proposed a system for recognizing handwritten characters, including preprocessing apparatus for generating a set of features for each handwritten character, a neural network disposed for operating on sparse data structures of those features, and post-processing for adjusting those confidence values and for selecting a character symbol consistent with external knowledge about handwritten characters and the language they are written in.
